A Demon and A Huntress || Jacob and Allison

Jacob knew of the Argent family for a few decades, but never had he seen a huntress in action until he met Allison. He’d somehow fooled her into believing he was human, but the demon’s true nature began to show when he protected the brunette from an oncoming chimera attack. “Allison, get down!” Jake shouted moments prior to conjuring up flames in the palms of his hands. He began to hurl fire balls at the enemy, hitting them square in the chest. The creature screeched in agony, and eventually turned tail before Jacob could do anymore damage. He turned around to face the woman, his blackened eyes inspecting her. She didn’t appear to be harmed, but looks could be deceiving. “Are you okay, Alli?”  @madecfsilver​

WEEK 4 OF READING MY HERO ACADEMIA EVERYDAY!!! (Vol 22-28)

First off, Juzo Honenuki is my favorite character of class 1-B. Idk why lol his design is weird but cool, his quirk is so powerful, he sounds like a very chill dude IDK!

And now... BLACKWHIP! LET'S GO! IT'S MY FAVORITE OFA QUIRK!!!!!!! AND I LOVE THE TROPE OF CHARACTERS LOSING CONTROL OF THEMSELVES/THEIR POWER!!! YEYEEEAAAAH

Aizawa training Shinso is something i wish we could have seen more of T_T Aizawa cares so much and Shinso is trying so hard to be worth his time and i'm just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (also you can pry my hc that PresentMic also trained Shinso from my cold dead hands <3)

And Izuku giving compliments on Shinso's fighting style and omg I just love this green bean haha

Himiko killing a bunch of people using Ochaco's quirk is still so cool!!! Curious was like oh poor little girl it must be so hard to be you and Himiko was like "nah" haha

Oh...Oh Shigaraki's past... oh no. This is so gruesome!!! omg his mom reached out to him anyway i'm so DOOOOONE!!!! I FORGOT HOW BAD IT WAS. I always found it weird how the Doctor was able to bring back the hands from each family member but turns out his quirk was cutting people up, not dusting them at the time????

ANOTHER GREAT CLOSE UP OF TOMURA!!! IT'S SO WELL DRAWN!!! HE LOOKS SCARY

Wow the panel with a laughing Shigaraki surrounded by debris and dirt is SOOOO COOL haha

Natsuo, fashion icon with his Front/Back shirt haha

Oh i forgot the Aizawa/Yamada/Kurogiri talk would happen soon... ow... Aizawa saying the power of friendship won't do shit (funny) Aizawa looking sadly at Kurogiri remembering his friend (very not funny)

HOLY SHIT THE PANEL WHERE YOU CAN KIND OF SEE OBORO'S FACE WOAAAAH SO COOL AND CREEPY WOAH

Anyway... Hawks... i know what you're about to do... i know it.... i'm going to have to relive this.

(The manga is presenting everything good the Doctor Ujiko did and then they show the Sun Kindergarten(idk if thats the right name) and i'm just here suffering because thats where Touya ended up when he woke up from his coma... the pain!!!)

Mirko is so so cool <3 i couldnt wait to see her fight!!!!

Oh i loooove foreshadowing. There's a panel of a bunch of member of the plf that are runninf towards the main fight at Gunga and you can see Dabi slightly in the background going in another direction... oh... this is going to go baaaad

Under here is me having a breakdown vvv ;)

THERE IT GOES. SCARY HAWKS IS HERE. I FEEL SO BAD FOR TWICE HAWKS YOU'RE SUCH AN ASS I HATE YOU (you look so cool) YOU SAY YOU DIDNT WANT TO FIGHT TWICE BUT IDK WHAT TO THINK ANYMORE. WHY DO YOU LOOK SO SAD. FUUUUUUCK!!!! I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU

AND THEN ONE OF TWICE DOUBLE SAVES HIMIKO AND SHE TELLS HIM THANKS BUT LIKE THE DOUBLE'S MEMORIES DONT GO TO THE ORIGINAL SO TWICE DIED NOT KNOWING IF HIMIKO IS ALRIGHT AND IM JUST AAAAAAAAAAAA

^^^ breakdown finishes ;)

(to be honest I like Hawks story as a character too much to hate him fully but damn. I *hate* him for what he did to Twice.)

Tokoyami stays #1 in my heart anyway 🥰

OOOHHH the panel when Shigaraki wakes up from his coma to become stronger!!

Unconscious + injured Hawks are the best kind of Hawks 🥰

Omg Aizawa saying that there's no way he's letting his students down and you see all of class 1-A AND SHINSO 🥺🥺🥺 Aizawa the man that you are

_______

And that's it for this week!!! There was a lot of things i forgot about the Gunga fight! I don't even want to think about the Hawks/Twice moment!

[demcnsinmymind]

brb crying tears of humbled joy

fic comments I got:

"Oh. My. Word. I HAVE no words. I am so ready for this journey. Yet I am So Not ready. Dear author, you have one of the most visceral writing styles I have ever come across, and even EXCLUDING that fact--the way you use spacing?? The way you utilize italics, and bold text, and capitalization?? The way you STRUCTURE EVERYTHING??? I feel like I am receiving a masterclass in using the actual form and placement of words, and it feels like I'm committing some sort of crime by getting all of this for free?? Hopefully I'm not coming across as unnecessarily intense, but my jaw was on the floor this entire chapter. I felt exactly what John was feeling. Every single, solitary line was it's own masterpiece. Your Kayne voice is unhinged PERFECTION. I know this is going to be an iconic fic. I can feel it down to the marrow. I am so excited. Please know the skill you possess is mind-boggling. I can't believe this is only the first chapter--" "It feel like you descended from the Heavens solely to provide me with buckets of delectable angst and everything I could ever want in a fic. I…am speechless. The IMAGERY of that closing scene. John, freshly-bodied, freshly-BLINDED (by his own hand, no less), the fan framing his head like a halo, like some angel who will always, always deliver Arthur back to this mortal coil, him bleeding and then collapsing over Arthur's own body. GAH. It's so…arresting??? I need to lie down now. Is already laying down"

like honestly, I expected this thing to get like 20 hits and even that would've brought me so much joy. But the fact that this thing is getting genuine feedback, feedback at all, and feedback like THAT? I too need to lie down T_T

[the-bloody-sadist]

I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL DEFENDING RANPO he's so cute why would u hate him. noo but you know that one episode with odasaku in it, ranpo was adorable

They should make the animations better at least, like the manga art has so much more personality to it, you go to the anime and it's just...bland. the writing itself could have been way worse... I guess, it'd feel weird with Asagiri not writing it... doesn't change the fact his writing is ass

It's so annoying to be on twt these days cause like, I haven't watched the new episode, and there's so many spoilers 😭😭😭 totally unrelated but they're changing the twt logo to an 'x' like why??? The bird is so iconic, tweets are now gonna be called 'x's like literally what?? thoughts on Elon?

*Wrinkles nose and squints at you reaaaalllll hard* Eugh...what a hill to die on. Also I love that you said that but told me NOTHING about WHY he's a good character and why you will die on this hill (I'm literally RUNNING YOU THROUGH AS WE SPEAK BRO HURRY UP NOW)..."Ranpo was adorable"...PUKES 🤮

Lmao I'm just playing, though, glad you like him! Makes the season way less insufferable for you. *grumbles from the corner*

I'm actually not really that...tilted? I supposed? About animation like a lot of people seem to be when it comes to anime, especially BSD. I do NOT get it. The animation is good, and BSD isn't really worth anything spectacular imo, so like...IT FITS. The only thing I hate is stupid camera angle shit like the fish-eye insanity moments. Please T_T enough...ENOUGH! Plus I read like - the first season's worth of the manga, I think? Or maybe more idk it was a blur. And it literally felt like watching the anime shot-for-shot so...NOT SURE WHAT PERSONALITY THE SHOW IS MISSING. You could be talking about the more recent series manga but man that pacing is so ass there's no way I'm going to read it.

ANYWAY. Stop sending me Ranpo-centric messages or I will stop answering, I MEAN IT.

ALSO I'M FUCKING DYING BECAUSE YOU DID A WHOLE SPIN AND ASKED ME ABOUT ELON MUSK AND THE TWITTER REBRAND?? LMAO

Okay here's my take, you ready?

I DO NOT CARE. LOL, I SERIOUSLY DO NOT CARE!!!!! As long as Twitter is here and I can post naked boys on it, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK! I saw the goth porn lookin X rebrand and I said LET'S GO! NOW THEY'LL NEVER LET THEIR KIDS ON IT BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS IT'S A PORN APP!! NOW TWITTER KNOWS WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE! STRAIGHT PORN! STRAIGHT GRAPHIC ASS AND COCK!

Lol okay that's enough of me for today, hope you get it. I'm so tired of anything people freak out about and join other apps for. They're LOSING their MINDS and I'll just keep scribbling away. I have my audience!! I have my thing!! I'm okay!! I'm hanging out!! I'm CHILLIN!

[they-dont-get-my-back]

Hello Pája my lovely friend! I didn’t pay attention to new releases last month as much as I have in the past, but I did listen to a handful.

I think my fave (other than NCT) was TXT’s comeback. The EP as whole was pretty great but my favorite song by far is Farewell, Neverland. I also really loved Crescendo from Monsta X’s album. Oooh also GOT the Beat’s mini album. It was super musically different and I found it very interesting but it’s definitely not for everyone. Honorable mentions to SF9’s comeback and Primrose’s debut!

Ohohoh! I almost forgot that Onewe released an English album! I haven’t listened to it yet but I’m sure it’s great because they’re a super talented band!

Rae Rae Rae!! Hello and how have you been? ^^

Thank you for all your recommendations, I'll give them a listen right now!

💬TXT's TEMPTATION:

I like the underlying beat in Devil by the Window. Wow what is that ending eheh, I didn't expect that. And now for something completely dfferent with Sugar Rush Ride ahah. Oh that little Billie Eilish moment. Happy Fools where have I heard that intro before UGH. Wow that beat is so familiar. I like the lady singing. Tinnitus, I feel like I've heard it already ahah. Maybe it's TXT's signiture sound. (hold on let me check, I def have other TXT songs in my playlists....huh, nevermind then :D ). Neverland definitely the best track of the album for me. I feel like I would like it even more if their voices would sound, like, a little bit less accentuated? That's not the word.... I feel like some parts are kinda strained, I don't know how to put it lol.

👾 MonstaX's REASON:

Do we even need to talk about Beautiful Liar, I am so in love witih that song. Daydream has such an interesting sound. Like a depressed circus. What is Crescendooooo, it's a bit of everything oh my gosh. Wait did they say let's get sexy ifusskjdf. The way it ended so abruptlly. Lone Ranger sounding kind of basic so far. Feels like a filler song. Deny a vocalist song I see I see. Okay no we still got the rap as well but IT FITS THE SONG, vocals and rap can COEXIST in balance in one song, NCT please try harder. Oh I like It's alright. The piano <3 Hhhh I like it! It's like relaxed. Sigh, should I listen to more of MonstaX? Maybe I should pay more attention to them.

💃💃 GOT the beat's STAMP ON IT:

I actually dread this one, I've heard the two title tracks (?) they performed during SM's concert and my ears bled :// (Also I thought they're called Girls on Top and not GOT the beat eheh.) But! I'll give it a try. Here goes. Sigh. It's like... we have all these beautiful extremely capable voices and we make them shout all at once. Also why does everything have to sound like NCT. Wait why does Alter Ego have a bit from 2 Baddies???? Mark's iconic line. (Like not the lyrics I guess but the delivery is exactly the same??) I don't know I guess I'm kinda tired of the "bad bitches, touch me and die, loser" concept. If I had to pick one song that didn't make think about skipping it within first seconds, it'd be MALA cause we can hear some actual vocals in it and also I kinda like the tone shift in the chorus.

9️⃣ SF9's THE PIECE OF 9:

At this point everything starts sounding the same to me T_T Nothing really stuck with me with thie album, sorry :(((( Maybe Fighter. And Stay with me.

💮 Primrose's RED MOON:

I haven't heard about Primrose before, let's go. Always love a good intro. Ooh, here we go with the Neosound again eheh. Okay so it's a girls group. Sounding like GOT the beat but less chaotic. I say it's a standard girls group, well done! ^^

I've already listened to Onewe because I was confused for a moment and thought that Onew released a new album jgdfkg.

Rae, thank you so much!!!!!!!!! I can always rely on you ^-^

[only-by-the-stars]

started a new town in New Leaf earlier because I missed that game, and... it feels like coming home ;~; I might end up missing some conveniences from NH, but on the whole this? is already such a joy and I'm looking forward to all the expansions on it as I unlock more things. a list:

the MUSIC, omg T_T so, SO much better!!! I don't think there's a single hourly tune I don't like and they're all so GOOD and 7 PM is ICONIC, and just... yeah.

the post office! it's just so cute! I like sending letters and using the ABD here, it's just so charming. missed my mail pelicans.

I CAN DONATE TO BLATHERS RIGHT AWAY. so convenient!

I can't order from the catalog yet, but BOY HOWDY is it gonna be much better than in NH when I do! delivery twice a day! no limit of 5 items per day! I know we say "how did we live like this?" about some things in this game (like the pattern limits, which, fair), but OH MAN, how did we REGRESS like that?

town tree!!! I love the planting scene <3

riding the train > flying. sorry, Dodos, you're cute, but I like the train better (and it doesn't have unnecessary animations that slow things down)

there will be more than one shop upgrade. and GRACIE. her furniture and fashion SLAPS, idk why they left her out.

also permanent shops for Leif and Kicks! and I like Label permanently being here too with her sisters. tbh I don't do her fashion assignments in NH now that I have all her items, even though I like her.

Roost will be its own building!

I prefer the charm of learning emotes from Shrunk, rather than waiting for a villager to ping me.

I cannot WAIT to go to Tortimer's Island again and indulge in mini-games and evening bug-catching <3

Re-Tail is so charming, honestly... and I don't mind waiting 30 minutes for Cyrus to do a single item, it's less costly than his place in the co-op/buying all those dang customization kits. Plus he makes other stuff that doesn't exist in NH.

ORES. MORE SHELL VARIETY.

unbreakable tools (except axes)? watering in a single animation, even on the better tools? oh my god. yes.

all the furniture I've missed

perfect fruit, and more fruit, and easier to get non-native fruit

Legend of Zelda items and villagers!!!

customizing town hall, better and more customization options for your house

decorating outside is better than the PWP system, I'll admit... BUT there are PWPS that didn't get turned into furniture that I've been missing. like those illuminated ones...

I like the "cozy little seaside forest town" vibe more than the island.

just... overall this is just still so good

edit: oh yeah and I won't be stuck with weird room sizes in my house when I upgrade!!! and I can CHOOSE how many rooms I want (in NH you have to get ALL of them before you can change your exterior and even then the selection isn't as interesting) and how big they are!!! for a game so focused on customizing stuff NH sure took some steps BACK in this area and some others.

My MLP G5 Self-Indulgent Wishlist

-Pony designs: Less of a dramatic sexual dimorphism; make the stallions and mares harder to tell apart. There's probably some ideal middle ground between the long super-horse-like snout and the scrunched chiuaua-faces, something that looks like an actual pony while still being cute; something like Fleur-de-lis or the Changelings would be perfect. And as a personal aside, I would love to see a general return to more G2-ish proportions; no good reason for it, I just like the longer legs.

-Pony Designs: At the same time, I want more of a variety of body types and statures for both sexes; G4 had lots of different builds for the stallions, but the mares were almost universally cookie-cutter with only occasional exceptions. Give me a properly buff Applejack!

-Characters: I would suggest a new cast, taking lesser-known characters from previous generations to spotlight, but I know Hasbro plans to keep with the Mane 6. Which I get, since they're pretty well-established and iconic, whereas a new cast would take a lot more effort to develop and introduce, and there's probably trademark involved. Still, even if just as supporting cast or cameos, I would love to see some older characters like Ivy, Kimono, or Magic Star brought in.

-Characters: For the Mane 6, there needs to be a careful balance struck between changing them up and retaining the core of their character, and based on the leaks I'm pretty happy with most of what's being proposed; I do hope they figure out how to handle Applejack well, though. This is also an opportunity to bring back character traits from the earlier seasons of FIM that were forgotten about, or rough edges that got sanded down as the characters matured. I want salty, snarky Twilight back please T_T

-Characters: I know this is a dumb and completely subjective one, but please don't make Twilight an Alicorn again. Both because it limits her in a lot of ways, and because if she's going to be an Earth Pony this time, getting the wings and horns again would be even more unfortunate for cast balance and implications than it already was in G4. I want to see Twilight's scholarly and magical side explored more, instead of her library getting burnt down and never being mentioned again.

-Side note: this is definitely just me wanting the nostalgic throwback funtimes, but if Twilight lives in something like the Tree Library again I would be immensely happy. Anyway.

-Characters: I want Sunset Shimmer. I know she's a deeply peripheral character isolated to the EQG stuff, but with a reboot comes new opportunities; if she can be in the main show in some way, I would be super happy. If she's still rivals with Twilight, that would be even better; I want reasons to write more enemies-to-lovers for them without all of G4's baggage to deal with.

-Characters: On the flipside of that, I really really really really really hope they don't bring Discord back. I know he's popular and all, and the original two-parter with him was admittedly pretty good, but I didn't care for him being brought back, and came to dread every episode he was in. I know his return is probably inevitable, but I still hope it won't happen.

-Worldbuilding: I personally hope we get an all-new setting so there are no preconceived biases from G4 to get in the way, but if they reuse Equestria, I hope they'll still change things up sufficiently. Whichever it winds up being, I want it to feel more magical and untamed. One of my bigger gripes with FIM's later seasons was how Equestria basically became 'Pony North America' and the intrigue and danger of locations like Everfree completely evaporated.

-Worldbuilding: I must reiterate: Don't just reuse real-world locations with a horse pun in the name; at best it's still lazy, and at worst it risks bad or offensive portrayals of the real place and people in question.

-Worldbuilding: By the same token, though, I hope they wouldn't fall back on tired Tolkein/D&D fantasy setting tropes either, which given some of the leaks I'm at least slightly nervous about. So I hope they keep the technological anachronisms and juxtapositions, so it all still feels fresh and unique. I think the later seasons went too far with the modernity, but stuff like Vinyl Scratch's turntables, used only slightly more sparingly, can be the perfect kind of jarring when contrasted against old-timey trains and whatnot.

-Races: Forgive me for soapboxing a bit here, but FIM's treatment of species, especially paired with the aforementioned Equestria-as-United-States problem, was pretty bad and had some strong and uncomfortable racial undertones. Whether it was intentional or accidental I can't say, but either way this is a big area where G5 needs to do better. So first off, on the home front, show us Earth Pony magic! Though the fanon assumption is that it's there, AFAIK it has never actually been explicitly stated or shown that they have any, and the lack of unique features compared to the other pony types only compounds the problem, especially where Alicorns are concerned. There is a certain resulting sense of imbalance that could easily be rectified.

-Races: The other issue is in the portrayal of non-Pony sapient species as greedy, evil, or just plain dumb, in need of 'enlightened Pony guidance' to understand friendship, to the point that Season 8 featured a school for specifically that purpose? I hope it's pretty clear what's wrong with this picture. However, to be completely fair, this is a problem stretching all the way back to the pigs and cows on Applejack's farm in Season 1, so I'm not wearing blind nostalgia goggles here. So how to fix this? Have a more diverse setting from the outset, and portray non-Pony characters as equals. Don't make friendship and kindness exclusive to Ponyhood.

-General: I know I'll probably get some flack for this one, but I would like to see genuine LGBT+ representation. Lyra and Bon-Bon are a decent start, sure, but they're background characters. The season 9 finale spoilers reminded me there's still deafening heteronormativity in mainstream media. I know it isn't likely, but I would love to see some of the Mane 6 in confirmed relationships with another mare.

-General: Getting off of serious topics, just in general terms, I want the media to have a balanced tone. The leaks implied they're aiming for something more plot-driven and dynamic, which I definitely like the sound of, but I also hope they don't go too far with it; they should make sure to keep in mind who their target audience is, and not just pander to the bronies. Don't be afraid to let the show still be girly, and don't make the girly and serious aspects mutually-exclusive. Similarly, as much as FIM's mostly slice-of-life approach got old after a while, I hope they don't let the plot overtake the characters here; retaining a decent balance of SoL and narrative episodes should hopefully give the cast room to breathe and develop and get into lower-stakes shenanigans between bigger developments.

So yeah, that's what I personally am hoping for; I know not every one of these is likely to occur and I know lots of people may want different things than I do, but still. I may add to this if I think of more, and if anyone else reads this, please feel free to let me know what you'd like to see!

[nyangibun]

Obviously there were some not-so-great parts about the finale... but on the other hand, what did you like? The fake-Starkbowl "reveal" left a few unanswered questions (why was Arya so victim-blamey even if it was fake) and was not really surprising, but it was fairly satisfying overall, and I loved the Sansa-Arya scene on the walls. Also, Bran matter-of-fact stating that "I'm the three-eyed raven" has become hilarious to me at this point. Anyway... your thoughts?

As much as I found this episode to be kind of stupid in a lot of the parts, there were actually quite a few things I enjoyed in spite of it all. 

The following are: 

+ Arya and Sansa playing Littlefinger reveal. It was honestly so gratifying even if the plot itself was dumb.

+ Related, Sansa saying “how do you answer to these charges *dramatic pause* Lord Baelish?” That was iconic as hell. 

+ Arya and Sansa bonding on the walls and Arya telling Sansa she would never have survived what Sansa went through and Sansa telling her she would’ve, she’s the strongest person she knows. But the best part is their lil banter after when Arya goes “that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me” and Sansa’s “well don’t get used to it, you’re still strange and annoying” My Stark girls

+ Brienne and the Hound basically being proud adoptive parents of Arya

+ The OT3: Bronn, Podrick and Tyrion reuniting

+ Tyrion and Cersei’s scene in her solar. Wow at both Lena and Peter’s incredible chemistry and superb acting there. For the first time we really saw the complexity of their relationship. 

+ Cersei’s unimpressed expression when Danielle flies down on her dragon. It was like ‘same, girl, same.’ 

+ Jaime and Brienne’s less-than-subtle looks towards each other. S8, give me Braime!!! 

+  Jon and Theon’s scene. Do they have a ship name? Because their chemistry was so great as well. 

+ Theon winning over Yara’s men and being the badass we know he can be. So proud of him tbh

+ Unpopular opinion, but Euron being a little shit to everyone. I’m sorry but he’s entertaining! 

+ The Night King riding on Viserion and bringing down the Wall. I’m seriously considering pledging my allegiance to House Undead at this point. 

+ Jaime and Cersei’s fall out scene. That was intense. But I’ve been waiting for this fallout for ages. It was so cathartic to see Jaime leave her behind. 

+ Related, Jaime leaving.

+ Tormund for being Tormund. Please let him live!!!! T_T 

+ Sam and Bran’s entire conversation. God, Sam has been such a great comedic relief this season. I love him

And yeah, I think that’s it from me. I can’t think of anything else at this point.
